Between the Lakers-Celtics rivalry of the 1980s and the Chicago Bulls Dynasty of the 1990s, the Detroit Pistons’ “Bad Boys” ruled the NBA for two seasons. Among the core of Chuck Daly’s Pistons was Dennis Rodman.
Before becoming one of the most unique and complicated stars in NBA history, he was just a 1986 second-round draft pick by the Detroit Pistons. Over the next six seasons, during the “Bad Boys” era, Rodman cemented himself as one of the best defensive players as well as one of the most historic rebounders in NBA history.
After the 1993 season, Rodman departed for San Antonio for the next chapter in his story but did not last long with the Spurs due to off-court antics.
